[0034] The leg mechanism 1 includes an adjustment component, a telescopic component and an adsorption component 1, the adjustment component is used to realize the angle transformation of the leg mechanism 1, and the telescopic adjustment is used to realize the overall telescopic transformation of the leg mechanism 1;

[0035] The leg mechanism 2 includes a vacuum control component, a rotating component and an adsorption component 2. The vacuum control component is used to unlock and fix the adsorption component 1 and the adsorption component 2, and the rotating component is used to realize the rotation adjustment of the adsorption component 2.

[0036] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, large gear one 12 and large gear two 15 are meshed with each other, and a servo connector 2 24 is installed on the side wall of large gear two 15, and servo three 14 is installed on large gear two 15 through servo connector 24. Starting servo three 14 drives connecting rod two 13 to rotate, so that large gear one 12 can revolve around large gear two 15. Since large gear one 12 and large gear two 15 are meshed with each other, large gear one 12 will also rotate when rotating during the revolution, thereby realizing the flipping operation of leg mechanism one around leg mechanism two, which is convenient for crossing different walls or obstacles.

[0037] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the telescopic assembly includes a leg connecting part 10 fixedly connected to a large gear 12, and the leg connecting part 10 is internally slidably connected with a leg telescopic part, and a rack 11 is fixedly installed on the leg telescopic part by bolts. A through hole matching the rack 11 is opened on the side wall of the leg connecting part to facilitate the passage of the rack 11, and one side of the rack 11 is meshedly connected with a telescopic driving gear 8, and the telescopic driving gear 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the leg connecting part 10.

[0038] Furthermore, a servo 29 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the leg connecting member 10, and the output end of the servo 29 is fixedly connected to the telescopic driving gear 8. Starting the servo 29 drives the telescopic driving gear 8 to rotate, which will drive the rack 11 to move up and down along the leg connecting member 10, thereby driving the leg telescopic member and the adjustment component and adsorption component installed thereunder to move up and down together, so that the overall length of the leg mechanism 1 can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0039] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the adjustment component includes a pinion 24 fixed by bolts below the leg telescopic member, a pinion 3 is meshedly connected below the pinion 24, a steering gear 6 is installed at the center of the pinion 3, a connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the steering gear 6, one end of the connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the center of the pinion 3, and the other end is rotatably connected to the center of the pinion 24.

Starting the servo gear 6 to drive the connecting rod 5 to rotate will drive the pinion gear 3 to revolve around the pinion gear 24. Since the pinion gear 3 and the pinion gear 24 are meshed with each other, the pinion gear 3 will also rotate during the revolution, thereby driving the adsorption component 1 to adjust the deflection of the foot end to adapt to the wall with different inclination angles.

[0042] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the adsorption assembly 1 includes a foot shell 1 2 fixedly mounted on a pinion 1 3 by bolts, and a suction cup 1 is coaxially mounted inside the foot shell 1 2;

[0043] The second suction assembly includes a second foot shell 2121 installed at the bottom of the leg rotating member 20 by bolts, and a second suction cup 22 is coaxially installed inside the second foot shell 2121;

[0044] The vacuum assembly includes a vacuum air pump 16 fixedly connected to the side wall of the leg connector 18 and two solenoid valves 17.

When the vacuum solenoid valve 17 is energized, the air inlet and the exhaust hole thereon are connected. At this time, the internal air pressure of the suction cup 1 or the suction cup 2 will be equal to the external atmospheric pressure. At this time, the suction cup 1 or the suction cup 2 will be unlocked and released from the wall. When the vacuum solenoid valve 17 is powered off, the air inlet and the exhaust hole are closed, and the air in the suction cup 1 or the suction cup 2 is evacuated by the vacuum air pump 16 to generate negative pressure inside the suction cup 1 or the suction cup 2, so that the suction cup 1 or the suction cup 2 can be fixed on the wall.

[0045] Next, the present invention will be further described in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0046] Embodiment 2:

[0047] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the somersault wall-climbing robot's forward somersault on flat ground. First, the vacuum control component is used to generate negative pressure in the suction cup 1, so that the leg mechanism 1 is vertically fixed on the wall. Since the large gear 12 is fixed to the leg connector 10 by bolts and nuts, the large gear 12 is locked and cannot rotate. At this time, the steering gear 3 14 is started to drive the connecting rod 2 13 to rotate 180° clockwise, so that the large gear 2 15 can revolve around the large gear 12. Due to the mutual meshing of the gears, the large gear 2 15 will rotate on its own, so that the leg mechanism 2 can move from the left to the right, and a movement similar to a "somersault" can occur.

Electricity is supplied and the air in the suction cup 1 is sucked out, the robot leg structure 1 will be fixed on the vertical wall, and then the leg structure 2 is unlocked and released by releasing the suction cup 22, and the connecting rod 5 is driven to rotate counterclockwise by starting the steering gear 6, so that the leg structure 2 is lifted up and off the ground, and then the steering gear 6 is driven to make the center of the large gear 12 and the center of the suction cup 1 colinear, and the leg structure 1 is vertically fixed to the wall, and at the same time, the steering gear 6 is started to make the suction cup 22 vertically close to the wall, and then the vacuum control component is used to draw a vacuum in the suction cup 22, so that the whole robot can be vertically fixed on the wall, completing the transition movement from the plane to the vertical wall.

Since the telescopic driving gear 8 and the rack 11 are meshed with each other, the leg mechanism one of the robot will move downward with the rack 11, and the direction is perpendicular to the wall and vertically downward. At this time, the leg mechanism of the robot begins to extend, and then the servo one 6 is started to drive the connecting rod one 5 to rotate 90° counterclockwise, and the small gear two 4 will revolve and rotate around the small gear, driving the suction cup one 1 at the foot end of the leg mechanism one to vertically adhere to the lower wall surface, and then the vacuum solenoid valve 17 controlling the leg mechanism one is de-energized, and the suction cup one 1 is vacuumed and adsorbed on the wall surface, the leg mechanism one is fixed, and then the leg mechanism is controlled The vacuum solenoid valve 17 of the second leg is energized, so that the suction cup 22 fails to adsorb, and the leg mechanism 2 is released. Then the steering gear 3 14 is started to drive the connecting rod 2 13 to rotate 180 degrees counterclockwise, driving the robot leg mechanism 2 to flip to the other side. At the same time, the steering gear 1 6 drives the connecting rod 1 55 to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise, so that the line connecting the pinion 2 4 and the pinion 1 3 is perpendicular to the lower wall surface, and the leg mechanism 1 of the robot adsorbed on the lower wall surface restores the vertical posture, and then the steering gear 3 14 is started again to drive the connecting rod 2 13 Rotate 180° counterclockwise to drive the leg mechanism 2 to somersault until the bottom plane of the suction cup 22 is parallel to the lower wall. At this time, start the servo 2 9 to drive the telescopic drive gear 8 to rotate clockwise, so that the rack 11 drives the leg telescopic part 7 to retract until the bottom plane of the suction cup 22 coincides with the lower wall. At this time, the vacuum solenoid valve 17 controlling the leg mechanism 2 is powered off, the suction cup 22 is vacuumed and adsorbed on the wall, and the leg mechanism 2 is fixed. At this point, the robot's legs are completely still and fixed on the lower wall, completing the upper and lower wall transition movement.

At this time, the steering gear 3 14 is started to drive the connecting rod 2 13 to rotate clockwise, so that the leg mechanism 1 is lifted. Then the steering gear 16 is started to drive the connecting rod 15 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the pinion 3 drives the foot shell 2 and the suction cup 1 to rotate to vertically fit the wall surface. At this time, the vacuum solenoid valve 17 of the leg mechanism 1 is de-energized, and the suction cup 1 is vacuumed and adsorbed on the wall surface, and the leg mechanism 1 is lifted. Mechanism one is fixed, and then the servo one 6 is started again to drive the connecting rod one 5 to rotate clockwise, so that the leg mechanism one is completely perpendicular to the wall with an inclination angle of θ, and then the vacuum solenoid valve 17 controlling the leg mechanism two is energized, and the suction cup two 22 fails to adsorb, so that the leg mechanism two is unlocked.
